This week on Books and Butterbeer, we dive into Chapter 9 of The Chamber of Secrets: The Writing on the Wall. Our game asks: how would YOU end up petrified by the basilisk? Harry, Ron, and Hermione get caught at the scene of Mrs. Norris’s petrification — the classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We also notice something unusual about Ginny Weasley and explore why the rest of the students suddenly start avoiding Harry. Plus, we take a closer look at the ghosts of Hogwarts, especially Moaning Myrtle, and how Hermione’s fate could have been very different without the help of her friends.
